[FQP] FQP 40 SSB Mobile Window and Activity

[ku8e]

W4AN/m will have a pretty casual schedule both days. We will be going thru
some of the counties a couple times. Our route will cover the north part of
FL from the AL /FL/GA border and east to Jacksonville. We will probably have
internet access on Saturday night. Send you missing county requests on
Saturday night to k4bai at worldnet.att.net or the FQP reflector.
